The Panama Canal.

WHAT Is THE REAL TRUTH ALL TO ITS PRO- GRESS AND DIFFICULTIES—MENDACITY OF THE AMERICAN PRESS.

Mr. H. A. Woods, Superintendent of the Panama Railroad, has been inter- viewed in Detroit on the subject of the Panama Canal scheme. He falls foul exceedingly of the New York dailies for misrepresentation and lying. The amount of disease is neither phenomenal nor abnormal. ‘There is, of course, the usual malarial fever, and this these papers style “ Panama fever,’ very little differing from the ague or intermittant fever of Detroit, of Michigan, and the West generally. In the dry or wiuter season (being from December to April) there is very little of this, but is

more prevalent in the rainy months, May to December. It rarely assumes a malignant type,

and generally yields readily to treatment, and, by the way, the climatic effects are such that twelve to fifteen grains of quin- ine there are only equivalent to six or seveo grains in Detroit.

Yellow fever is neither epidemic nor has it been epidemic. There have, of course, been sporadic cases of that dis- ease, but of cholera not one. In fact, in mortuary statistics the Isthmus contrasts favorably with New Orleans. For some distance back from the Atlantic the laud is low and marshy, but arcund Panama it is generally high. The French em- ployees died off because they were too enamoured of Parisian ideas and food to conform to the sanitary requisites of the climate.

THE INTER-OCEANIC CANAL.

Mr. Woods, in speaking of the pro- gress of the work ou the Canal, said that De Lesseps first visited the Isthmus in January, 1880, and last January his corps of engineers put in an appearance. Since then they have thorough surveys of the entire route, and also of the Bays of Aspinwall aud Panama. . They have bored all along the line to ascertain the earth strata, and will soon be; ready to commence the excavations, probably by the middle of December. The company is now receiving large quantities of machiaery and implements from P iris and building material from New York. THE ROUTE. ’

The Atlantic end of the canal will be at Aspinwall, by the valley of the Cha- gres River, through the lowest part of the mountains, but it is not decided whether to follow down the bed of the Rio Grande River to Panama Bay to the left of the City of Panama, or go down the Pacific slope a short distance to the right of the city. The general agent of the Company is now in Paris, however, and all these minor details have been arranged ere this. It may be added that very many people thiak that in crossing the Isthmus they go from east to west, whereas the Isthmus crooks away to the eastward at this point, and Panama is nearly due south from Aspin- wall. The villages along the line are inhabited by natives. The Canal Com- pany is establishing a village at Gatun, seven miles from Aspinwall, and another at Empire, thirteen miles from Panama, near the summit of the mountains. These are to be the head quarters of the Com- pany. The general oifices of the Com- pany are at Panama, where they have purchased and converted to their use the only first-class hotel in the city.

THE MOUNTAINS AND STREAMS EN ROUTE

The height of the mountains, a eon- tinuation of the Cordilleras chain, travers- ing the Isthmus, is about 700 feet. On ihe Pacific side the rise is about five miles, and on the Atlantic side seven miles. For twelve miles they will have to make a cut of 100 to 325 feet in depth it being proposed to make the canal thirty feet below tide-water level. The tides will cause them considerable ex- pense, for while the flood-tide at Panama is fifteen feet it is but eighteen inches at

road ard cross it two or three times. The Canal Company has really purchased the railroad for only by so doing could they build a canal. They had purehased a franchise for uinety-nine years from the Colombian Government, by the terms of which no other railroid or a eadal could be constfucted without the Com- pany’s cousent. The capital stock of the road was $7,000,000, but the stock was worth about $290 per share, so that the smount of the purchase was between $18,000,000 and ¢20,000,000. The road is forty-seven miles in length, aud the fare is $25. Therun is made in four days, two trains each way daily. They are all freight trains, with passen- ger coaches attached. The Canal Com- pany will use it for transporting their men, material. aud supplies. In fact, it is doubtful if thaseanal would have been undertaken but for the railroad. THE COST OF LABOR.

The estimate of $100,000,000 for the con- struetion of the canal will probably not cover the cost. When DeLesseps was making his estimates he put.in the wages of

laborers at sixty to sixty-five cents per be hired for ,

day. A Jamaica negro that, but they ars a lazy, who will not work more ¢ one or two days in @ week, just enough to maintain an excistence; They will never work unless hungry, very hungry. West Indian labor of all kinds is miserable and cannot be re- lied upon. De Lesseps must get his men from Africa or China, at great cost for transportation, and their wages will be much more than sixty-five cents per day.

Zadkiel’s Prophecies for 1882.

mptible set,

Of Zadkiel’s new Almanac a London correspondent writes :—It does not at all affect the Tao Sze that he missed out of his 1881 prophecies all the greatest events of the year, though he naively admits that the twelve months that have rolled away have been prolific in the manifestation of planetary influence.” But quite early in the year 1882 he gives us some startling forecasts. ‘In Africa,” he says, ‘‘violent deeds will be the order of the day,” and “the French wil! have a

lively time of it in Algeria and Tunis,”

There wilt be “‘tumults and seditions’ Ireland and Persia. These cOuotries will not be able to resist the fact of ‘“Sattrn’s stationary position in Taurus.” The Emperer of Germany. will aiso. feel the effect of “ Saturn’s stationery in his mid- heaven.” In the month of February Mars will be also stationery, “ and we may therefore look for numerous fires aud much excitement in the metropolis ;” and in the latter part of the month ** great excitement will be witnessed in New York.” March is to be a terrific month, not so much, it would seem, on account of the stars as owing to the fact that three Kings have their birthday anniversaries during the month. The Crown Prince of Germany will have domestic troubles; ‘‘ taxation will be heavy ;” there will be trouble in Paris, discord in Russia and at Madrid “ tur- moil and perhaps revolution at Constan~ tinople ;” an ‘* epidemic of diphtheria or small-pox at Washington,”’ and ‘a most eritical period at hand;” but, says the sage, ‘let us hope that the destivies of 3reat Britain will be guided by a firm will and a sound judgment.” June is go- ing to have good in store for ** London, the West of England, and the United States, but let those persons beware who are born ov or about the 29th of that month, for they are in danger of “a period of loss and suffering, and should exercise caution in all thivgs.” In July let the women look out, (especially the mothers of costers, I presume for whom the Gilbertian East Euder jumps at all times of the year, and * loves to lie a-basking in the sun,” for ** Venus meets with the square of Saturn and the con- junction with Uranus this month, hence cases of cruelty to women will be vum- erous.” September will bring America “a bountiful harvest.” and embarrassing to England.

To) prevent this a tide-water lock is to be | built at Panama. ‘The borings as yet| made are either through solid rock or a! heavy red clay, that, when wet, is fright- fully tenacious. These borings were entirely satisfactory.

Mem to these unhappy beings—‘ Avoid almost any travelling and danger of all kinds on the 8th September, 1882.” Next Decem- ber ‘* the transit of Venus across the sun’s disk on the 6th will be partly vis- ible in England.” For this fact it is not necessary to consult Zadkiel, but the King of Italy is warned that he will be in personal danger about the 16ih, ‘“‘when Mars and Uranus attack the sun’s place at his birth.” If there is one thing on which Zadkiel is intense, almost too too,” it is in his loyalty. The year 1881 ‘closes amid a strange ymixture of good and evil influences.” But ** God Save the Queen and royal family!” he
